What is "Corinthian"?
In architecture, "Corinthian" refers to a style of column or top part of a column that is highly decorative and features intricate details. It is the most elaborate of the classical Greek column styles, marked by a design with leafy patterns and curved shapes. Corinthian columns are typically slender and elegant, often used in grand buildings like temples or government structures. This style, originating in ancient Greece and later used by the Romans, gives a sense of luxury and refinement in building design.
